O.K. That does the trick. Now I can see the web interface logging myself 
in and play around a little. But at least there seem to be one thing 
missing, which I think is an apache issue as well. When I click on one 
of the links, the provided destination points to some other directory in 
most of the cases. From HTML I would assume to automatically look for a 
index.html in those directories (which is available in all of them). But 
my own apache seems to forget about this feature. All I see is the 
directory itself (say the files and directories it contains). Clicking 
on index.html then brings me to the place I wanted to.

I'm sure there is a configuration entry missing in my httpd.conf. Can 
anyone tell me what is missing there?

Thanks,
